can't get Event_Chat to work... please help

Hi, new to MQ and I'm trying to get my bot to recognize tells (I'm writing a macro so I can control my SK alt when I'm kiting with my Wiz main).

For some reason, I can never seem to trigger the Event_Chat on incoming tells. I stripped the bot to basically these bare-bones commands and it still doesn't work:
--------

#turbo
#chat tell

Sub Main
/doevents flush
:MainLoop
/doevents
/delay 0
/goto :MainLoop
/return

Sub Event_Chat
/echo telldetected
/return

-------

I've gotten other Events to work, it's just the chat one that doesn't respond for some reason. I've also tried both /plugin mq2chat and /plugin mq2chat unload and neither way seems to work.

Thanks for your help!

i think i found it~

Code: Select all

#turbo 
[b]#chat tell [/b]

Sub Main 
/doevents flush 
:MainLoop 
/doevents 
/delay 0 
/goto :MainLoop 
/return 

[b]Sub Event_Chat [/b]
/echo telldetected 
/return

make the case match... that might be it... because almost the same exact code works on my mq2 (compiled 2 nights ago with lastest source)[/b]

Hey drunkensloth,

Thanks for replying but I'm not sure I know what you mean. Do you mean make the case match as in upper and lower case? I tried writing everything in lower case and still doesn't work.

Only way I was able to get a response was to use variables after the event chat

Code: Select all

Sub Event_Chat[color=red](ChatType,Sender,ChatText)[/color] 
   /echo Tell Detected
  /return
}

Leaving out the variables it never seemed to respond.

thats cause you never tell it do do anything, just realized that you never tell it to respond or anything, you just tell it to send "telldetected" to your MQ chat screen, try this, replacing it with what you want

Code: Select all

Sub Event_Chat 
   /echo Tell Detected 
  [color=red] /reply "we demand another shrubbery"[/color]
  /return 
}
